Is wksh no longer included in the popular distributions?

No. It was a commercial product, and was never part of GNU or BSD distributions. It was in use for only a year or two, and was almost immediately supplanted by dtksh (another commercial product) around 1993. Nobody has used wksh for many years.

In any case, we don't normally remove stuff before deprecating it for
some period of time.  Should this case be an exception
I'd say so, yes, since nobody uses wksh.
